Nutrition Facts

OK, so I'm always trying to come up with new designs for my Barry's World Store that are both humorous and original. I was eating breakfast the other day when, for some strange reason, I was struck by the "Nutrition Facts" label on the side of the cereal box. My weird little brain being what it is, I immediately thought how cute it would be to have a nutrition label giving the recommended daily allowance for the ingredients that make up "little boys" and "little girls" [for anybody who isn't familar with the old sayings, little girls are supposed to be made of "sugar and spice and everything nice," whereas little boys are made of "snips and snails and puppy dog tails"].

This wasn't the most difficult design I've ever come up with, but it did take a while to get to the point where I thought it looked just right. I had to leave out a lot of stuff that is really on the nutrition facts labels (like calorie count, amount of fat, etc.) but I think the end product still looks like a real label.

And then, of course, I went ahead and ordered a toddler t-shirt with the "little boys" design for my 14-month-old son to wear. Hey -- if you can't use your children to advertise your products, what use are they? Just kidding! Well, mostly....
